5:57 PM
Highlights:
- 3rd-4th ~ Went for morning walks with my dad. Love that man.
- 6th ~ Went to a church activity (combined FHE) but it was canceled for Labor Day.
- 10th-13th ~ Alyson here to visit.
- 12th ~ Family Pictures
- 20th ~ Church activity (FHE) We ate leftover spaghetti and played holy boards. It's similar to horseshoes. Both of which I am terrible at.

Happiest Moment: Getting the job!
Saddest Moment: The few moments when I've realized that my grandmother wasn't going to be with us much longer.
TV:
- Red Vs. Blue - Does that count?
Favorite Food: Raspberry Limenade from Sonic. It counts. I say so.
Overall Impression: Lots of ups and downs. Just like most months. So many good things happened this month, and also a lot of sad things. I'm excited to move on to a new month of experiences.

Crazy Day
3:52 PM
Today has been a whirlwind crazy day. And I've only been awake for 5 hours. Let's recap.
11:30 AM: I'm half asleep in bed, my mind on the verge of waking up and my body trying to force it to roll over and go back to sleep. I hear footsteps coming down the stairs and I groan to myself. Being one of the only three things in the basement worth anyone coming down for, someone was probably going to knock on my door in a moment. I prayed that it was someone to do some laundry, but the sound of knuckles rapping on my door met me. I ignored them. Sometimes they'll just go away. This wasn't one of those time. The door opened.
It was my sister. She handed me a piece of paper with my aunt's name and phone number on it. She explained that my aunt had been offered a child care job (I love working with kids) but had turned it down and thought I might be interested. I was up in an instant and called her back and got the information.
1:00 PM: By this time, I had called my aunt, gotten the information, called the office and had set up an interview for 3:30. Yes. Two and a half hours. I fixed up my resume, organized my small portfolio, and tried on multiple outfits. As time went on, I got more and more nervous. I hurt because I was so nervous. I shaved my legs, fixed my makeup and hair.
3:00 PM: I ran out of things to do. I was freaking out. I haven't had an interview in months and really wanted this job. It sounded perfect for me.
3:30 PM: I'm sitting down from a very friendly woman. She was so easy to talk to, and the interview went well. She showed me around the building. I was very prepared to act like this guy until they gave me the job!
3:55 PM: Just enough time to stop at Sonic which is down the street to get a Happy Hour (half off) Raspberry Limeade. Mmm.
4:00 PM: Hugged my dad in the street as I said these words: "I start tomorrow at 8:30!"
That's right folks! I'm no longer unemployed! I woke up this morning with no leads, no prospects, no job. And within 5 hours, I am a working gal! (But I have plenty of time to blog. It's only 9 hours a week.)
Remember to enter my GIVEAWAY! Only a few more days left!
